My progesterone level was low when I tested in January. I am taking 100mg once a day, orally. >

Yes, for the past 7 months. >

Once every 3 or 4 months if I'm lucky, I went off the pill in June. I was on the pill for 6 years, prior to that I was very irregular, sometimes 9 months with no period. >

They have not diagnosed me with either of these, all my other hormone levels (FSH, LH, prolactin) were OK. I also had an HSG test and my tubes were clear. >
